Hello!
(We apologize for the delayed QOTW, as there were some email issues involved on my end. Sorry about that.) This week, we're going to go in depth with a current hot topic, the "three pools of experience".
Today, our community asked, "Can you elaborate on the "three pools of XP", as noted in a recent interview and discussed by this post (http://forums.play-earthrise.com/index.php?topic=2277.0)?"
Let's see what our developers had to say...
Experience? We got it, in fact, all three types of experience. But in case you find that boast confusing at best, we have to tell you more about how your character will advance in Earthrise.
Three types of experience will be available in Earthrise, allowing your Enterran alter-ego to advance through combat, crafting and social activities without enforcing a single, authoritative way of developing your character whether you like it or not. As you shoot and hack your way through the denizens of the dangerous island, you will accumulate combat experience used to unlock skills with combat abilities and tactics that enhance their abilities, as well as passive trainings that strengthen your character. If you stay away from combat, your character can develop through crafting, extracting elements from debris and mutant tissue, constructing various items, designing new enhancements for your items and even repairing items on the go. The final pool of experience, last but not least important, is the social experience that players will acquire through offline gameplay and will invest it in new more influential and better paying jobs as your characters climb the corporate ladder. Each experience pool will be separate from the others, allowing a character to specialize in one of the three forementioned areas depending on their actions in the game. While your character could ultimately develop in all areas and no artifical limitations will be set, your only boundary will be time - as developing your character as a jack-of-all-trades will be very time consuming - and your own goals you've set for yourself and your character.
Enjoy!
